Local
government management is in the midst of a quiet crisis. Today’s
managers are nearing retirement, and fewer young professionals are
in line and prepared to fill their shoes. As many local government
executives retire, the Cal-ICMA Coaching Program aims to prepare
talented mid-career professionals for senior management roles. Program
elements include telephone panel discussions, small group coaching,
networking events, and a management style analysis report. Peckham
& McKenney supports the professional and personal development
of new and aspiring managers and encourages you to visit the Cal-ICMA
web site at www.icma.org/cal-icma.
In
addition, a recent study was completed by work2future in
conjunction with CAL-ICMA that further documents the upcoming workforce
challenges facing the public sector. This study found that in five
years half of the senior staff and management of local government
agencies may be lost to retirement. To learn more about this "quiet
crisis" and recommended strategies for dealing with it, click
